New Discoveries!

Jordan and I made some new wonderful discoveries this weekend...
1. La Perm
So we went to pets mart on saturday just for fun and while we were there we discovered our new favorite      kind of cat. It was a La Perm, she had almost no hair except for on her paws and the tip of her tail. To be quite honest she looked like she had just been pulled out of the dumpster. Nonetheless she was super sweet and we decided we want a cat just like her.

2. Susie's Deals
Ever since Jordan and I decided to only give ourselves each twenty dollars a month for personal spending I figured my recent habit of buying clothes was shattered! However, on Saturday we came across a store called Susie's deals.  It's about as white trash as they come, but if you dig there are some great bargains and everything is $5.99 OR LESS!! They take over-stock from just about every clothing store you can imagine. So Jordan got a new jacket and I got a new scarf :)

3. Family Relations Class
Our ward has a Family Relations class which Jordan and I were Completely unaware of until Sunday when we were called to be teachers for the class.  We feel a little inadequate seeing that we have only been married for 2 months and we'll be teaching couples who have been married for up to 6 years. But we are very excited and both of us love to teach!

Quick summary...

Well I'm just going to give a quick summary of the last two months....
Dec. 19th
 We got MARRIED
Dec.20th-28th
We drove from Albuquerque to Utah, at which time we got pulled over for going 20 over, but the cop let us off because we were newlyweds. Then we flew from Utah to Portland, where we had about a five hour layover, then we flew to Hawaii. We stayed in Hawaii for 7 days where we went hiking, swimming, did a lot of bus riding and spent a lot of money on the over priced food, and did a whole bunch of other fun things!!! Then we flew back to Utah :( we were sad to leave paradise, but excited to get started with our new life.
Dec.29th-Jan. 3rd
We moved into our new apartment, returned wedding gifts, celebrated new years, and bought everything we needed with our gift cards.
Jan.4th-Feb5th
We started school, our schedule usually consists of leaving home at 7:40 am and not getting home till 7:00 or 8:00 pm :(.  But we have made time to have a date every Friday night which has been so nice and what I look forward to the most every week.  Our Saturdays consist of rehearsal for me, work for Jordan, homework, laundry, temple, and running errands.  Sundays we can finally take a breather. We had our second reception. We got health insurance, car insurance, and renters insurance.  I changed my name and am still trying to get a new drivers license. We got a Costco card! Jordan got a job offer to be a representative in Taiwan for a Japanese company, we're still trying to make a decision.
And now for this past weekend Feb. 6th-7th
Saturday was busy but still fun, I went to rehearsal while Jordan took care of the laundry, so sweet.  We went to target, costco, bed bath and beyond, pets mart, buy low, and susie's deals. Jordan went to work and I hung out with my sister who was visiting.  Then we went hot tubbing and watched dream girls, Jordan is in love with the movie!
